|  #1 Posted on 11.7.04 2224.41 | Instant Rating: 4.62 | In a soon to be published interview, Test confirms that he will be the next in a long line to receive the neck fusion surgery.

Now while Test doesn't exactly have a solid fanbase around here, I still think he's tons better than some of the green rookies being hastily rushed to the main roster from OVW. I hope that upon his return he can at least become a solid mid-carder.

Did I miss something in regards to A-Train's injury? What's wrong with that guy?

I always felt Test got a bum rap. No, he's not the greatest worker in the world, but he's not terrible and he's at least got personality...which is more than I can say for A-Train or Chuck Palumbo.

Torn rotator cuff, I think it happened shortly after he made his TV return against Jericho a few weeks back. | Evil Antler God

Test is awesome and horribly underrated by WWE. Him being out for a year absolutely sucks. Funny how all the good workers have this surgery - Benoit, Edge, Rhyno, Angle....and now Test (and before you freak out, no, Test isn't as good as them technically, but he's very good).
The wrestling gods hate me.

I've always thought he should have been Christian's hired muscle ... but I understand they were trying to debut a new talent in that angle.
But I'm all for the T&A reunion tour sometime next year (with a heel Stacy leading them)

Just wondering where I was for the rest of his "good" matches.

Test was always a fine midcard heel. I remember at a house show in '02, he and RVD were the main event. This was when RVD was still really popular.
While Test had him in a rear chinlock, he yelled to the crowd, "How do ya like that, hillbillies??!!!"
Which was great. My friend said, "Tomorrow's headline should be 'Professional wrestler taunts, correctly identifies local crowd.'"

Sure hes never going to be the next Rock, but he made the mid-card look that much more solid on ppv's than a lot of folks currently clogging up that area. Heck, had he been healthy he would even have been a decent addition to the Smackdown roster which is rather bereft of big man heels.
Hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

I'm agreeing with many others here. Test wasn't a great worker by any stretch, but I'd take him any time over stiffs like Tyson Tomko, Kenzo Suzuki, and the returning John Heidenreich.
But which neck fusion surgery is this? Is this the surgery that kept Benoit and Edge out for a year, or will this be the Super Neck Surgery that had Angle back within months?

Idiot (noun):
1. A foolish or stupid person.
2. A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
3. Los Angeles Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak for trading away Shaquille O'Neal for NO all-stars in return, about to face a trade demand from Gary Payton, and STILL facing the possibility of losing Kobe Bryant to the Clippers. Truly astounding. | Hogan's My Dad

Anyway, Test was not that bad, so here's wishing him the best. He's got Stacy to console him.

I hope that bit about 'Super Neck Surgery' is a joke, because we all know what a mess Angle's neck has been since the so-called (at the time) miracle surgery he underwent. | | Pages: 1 2 Next
